In this episode, we look at at children’s picture books and discuss the importance of border stories for children (and adults) of all ages. In the main section we explore two specific titles, Mama’s Nightingale, by Edwidge Danticat and Bright Star by Yuyi Morales. Both of these children’s picture books approach telling border stories in distinct ways that are age appropriate without erasing the importance of teaching children about the borderlands. And in the final section, we briefly discuss the ways in which the authors utilize intertextuality and "multi-texture-ality" to tell these stories. Then we wrap up with some additional recommendations.
